Meet The Herd

With a smörgåsbord of cattle breeds; miniature Hereford/Charolais,  Charolais mix, Beefmaster, Beefmaster/Angus and Holstein, we have a good  variety of cattle for meat, cattle for dairy and cattle for cuteness.  

We chose St. Croix Hair Sheep for their parasite resistance, maternal  aptitude, flavorful (and lack of gaminess) meat and their sweet faces.                                                      

American Guinea Hog’s are one of the oldest heritage pig breeds. They are small, gentle, hardy, flavorful and hilarious.  

Our most abundant animal type on the farm, we have layer chickens, meat  chickens, turkeys, guineas and quail. We have three different active  programs when it comes to the birds: bold colored egg layers, large  heritage Jersey Giant meat birds and heritage Bourbon Red Turkeys. We  maintain our flocks with two simple standards: first, we choose the  highest quality breeds and birds and second, we choose for the best  temperament.                                                     

There is one word for why we keep horses on the farm: Canon. Our son was  practically born with boots and a cowboy hat. At seven years old he  raised $500 all by himself for his horse Star and continues to research,  ride and love all things horse related. 

FarmHer Brandi has been an exotic animal researcher and lover from a  very young age so we typically have some strange, not-so-farm animal on  hand most of the time. Prairie Dog P.D. “Petey” is a family favorite and  our rescued, rehabilitated and “released” gray squirrel Goey is  regularly sighted on the farm (usually sitting on Farmer Brian’s  shoulders while he’s doing daily tasks).
